   The first book features Jiang Donglin, a protagonist who is reborn. In his previous life, he was bound to a system that controlled his actions, leading to the deaths of all his friends. He is reborn with his memories intact, no longer bound to the system. He finds his childhood friend, manages to remove the system, and prevents the disaster his friends would face… The second book involves the protagonist's sister dragging him to participate in a parent-child reality show, where they coincidentally encounter his ex-girlfriend from abroad. The story also features a character who was dumped and relentlessly pursues him. (Both books are exceptionally good; the first is an ensemble piece, the second a micro-ensemble piece.)
